I also use a camera that is call the VIO POV. A good friend of mine turn me on to this one, here is the link to it

It a good camera and it has a remote control to record and stop. But every time it stops it creates a new file of that footage, not in less they added a pause button on the newer units. It's the same as the GoPro as far as lens is a wide-angle view you can get smaller angle lens. The camera unit is small but it attaches to the handle unit by a cord. The unit has a viewing screen so you can see what you’re filming. This video clip was all completely done with my VIO camera at Mentone a few years ago. You can see the unit in the left side of my cockpit with a cord going to the camera. I always strap the remote right to the unit because it had big buttons that I could push to stop and start the recording process. The only bad thing about it just makes things look far away and a little fish eyed.
